Review
5 stars. This is my first read from Pam but will definitely not be my last. Her characters drew me in and captivated me Josh sweet, loving, caring and just outright amazing. Liv is sexy, dark but has a kick to her that Josh cant overcome. Liv is after her next target sexy football star Josh. Her only job to train him into the slave the client is looking for. Once she has him things change Liv feels something she never has before but she needs to ignore and do her job but can she? This book had me anticipating yet scared to see what happened next Pam pulls you in with a storyline like no other. This book has some aww moments and some damn moments all in all a perfect read that I will be rereading again. Pam where have you been all my life and why havent I read any other books by you?!?!

On his back, muscles bared, bound, and
stretched the full length of the box, he was an erotic picture. She was a
criminal, and as ashamed as she was by that, the disgusting, fucked-up part of
her anticipated spending the next ten weeks touching every inch of this man.
She dragged her gaze from his body to
his face, and guilt slammed into her.
He stared up at her with so much pain
in his eyes. “Don’t
hurt my parents.”
Her gut twisted. She knew that pain,
lived it every day. She leaned in, lips hovering a breath away, and repeated
what Mr. E had said to her. “That’s up to you.”
Resolve hardened his face. She knew
that emotion, too. Her time in the box was permanently carved in memory, which
had made Van’s
threats of returning her there an effective form of control in her training.
Tendrils of resentment coiled around
her throat. To dwell on her or the boy’s predicament would only bring
irresponsible hesitation. So she did what she always did to distract her
thoughts.
She reached into the cold place inside
her, searching for something yearning she could sing with dispassion. The
beginning verses of “What
It Is” by Kodaline fell past her lips and shivered through the room. She sang
with an icy pitch as she removed a blindfold from the trunk by the box and tied
it over his wide, glaring eyes.
To deprive smell, a swimmer’s nose plug went on
next. He could breathe through his mouth, and the cracks in the box allowed
airflow, but it wouldn’t feel that way to him once she shut the lid.
The skin on his face was hot and damp,
the muscles beneath jerking against her fingers. She continued to sing as she
cuffed headphones over his ears, plugged them into the tablet outside of the
box, and activated the timer. Twenty minutes of heart-hammering silence.
The music in her voice strangled,
stopped. Twenty minutes alone with his thoughts. Then the misery would begin.
“It’s
just the way it is,” she murmured with an ache in her throat.
His body was motionless, but she didn’t miss the
goosebumps creeping across his skin or the slight tremor in his cheeks. The
sudden desire to comfort him drew her closer, bending her at the waist, until
her mouth brushed his, softly, unjustly. His lips pulled away in a quiver that
she felt throughout her body.
She straightened and rubbed her
breastbone, unable to soothe the ache beneath it. “I’m so sorry.” A
whisper, too low to pass through the earphones.
Then she closed the
lid.
